movement of the truck
� Anticipate the driver’s next move.
� Keeping your eyes half a block ahead of the truck.
� Be aware of blind spots, traffic, and surrounding hazards.

Oversteering – allowing the trailer to move well past an “in-line” position after a turn is completed.
� To avoid this, it is important to begin straightening the tiller wheels before the truck has completed the turn
� Count the number of turns – (Module 9)
![Page 29: LAFD Tiller Orientation ppt (1) - Amazon S3 · 2016-07-07 · Top –Rookie Inside –FF or FF/PM or vacant ... – Can’t get certified. NEED FOR ORIENTATION Depletion of certified](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050105/5f43a03039ec9e35a1426276/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Overtillering – occurs when Tillermen turn the steering wheel unnecessarily
� A/O should limit the need for tiller
� Tiller should not steer unnecessarily
� Get familiar with A/O
� Anticipate
![Page 30: LAFD Tiller Orientation ppt (1) - Amazon S3 · 2016-07-07 · Top –Rookie Inside –FF or FF/PM or vacant ... – Can’t get certified. NEED FOR ORIENTATION Depletion of certified](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050105/5f43a03039ec9e35a1426276/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Overhang – portion of the trailer that extends from the center of the tiller wheels to the rear of the
trailer
� Tiller bucket at rear of truck – easy to judge clearance
� Be careful swinging out into another lane or oncoming traffic when negotiating a turn. Always check off side before tillering out to avoid collision
� Communicate with A/O � Blind spots – area next to
the tiller wheels. Area behind the tillerman

BACKING
� Backing – Move hands to bottom of wheel
– Communicate objective and distance with A/O
– COUNT TURNS
– Anticipate the reaction from jackknifing truck
![Page 32: LAFD Tiller Orientation ppt (1) - Amazon S3 · 2016-07-07 · Top –Rookie Inside –FF or FF/PM or vacant ... – Can’t get certified. NEED FOR ORIENTATION Depletion of certified](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050105/5f43a03039ec9e35a1426276/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
APPARATUS PLACEMENT – (NON-EMERGENCY)
� Kicking out or kicking in trailer when parking for fire prevention, shopping, and errands.
� (Emergency) – Drilling is practice for spotting emergency. Making sure ladder bay is clear, overhead obstructions
� Remember that the outriggers are on the trailer, not the
tractor

RELIEF AND STATION DUTIES
� Make proper relief – should be similar to A/Os relief
� Take ownership of the rig – know the maintenance and repairs
� Condition of rig is responsibility of tiller as well as A/O
![Page 34: LAFD Tiller Orientation ppt (1) - Amazon S3 · 2016-07-07 · Top –Rookie Inside –FF or FF/PM or vacant ... – Can’t get certified. NEED FOR ORIENTATION Depletion of certified](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050105/5f43a03039ec9e35a1426276/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
LESSONS LEARNED
� Any personal story that emphasizes the responsibility that a Tillerman has.– My AO got reprimanded for running over some equipment that the Tillerman left on the ground near the duals after he checked that the rig was clear. (Lesson: The driver will always be held accountable for the outcome of the rig)
– Early morning non-emergency move up to 48s. Tiller dozed off on the freeway. (AO is not the only person in charge of safe driving. Yet he will be held accountable)
– U-turn incident
![Page 35: LAFD Tiller Orientation ppt (1) - Amazon S3 · 2016-07-07 · Top –Rookie Inside –FF or FF/PM or vacant ... – Can’t get certified. NEED FOR ORIENTATION Depletion of certified](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050105/5f43a03039ec9e35a1426276/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
